Okay, another Scrap Stacks question...

[mariewilcox]

I feel like an idiot because the whole thing just confuses me

What is the restack button for on each layout? How do I make my own categories/boards that I see others have?

[carrie1977]

The restack button is just like repinning a pin. That is your opportunity to stack maybe a layout you want to save to use as inspiration or a kit you want to add to your wish list.

To create new stacks, you can use the red ADD button and where it says Scrap Stack you can type in a new Stack or use one you already have. That's how I create a new one anyway.

Thank you Carrie! I was missing the red ADD button piece of the puzzle! Geez, I guess I need to get some more sleep or something!

You aren't alone Marie - it took me a bit to figure out how it worked too

[mariewilcox]

Okay, I have my stacks created according to what categories I want, but I still can't figure out how to actually REstack a post from the main board to my category! I feel like I'm beating my head against a wall!

When I click on the RESTACK button it takes me to what looks like the same page I used to upload my OWN layouts not RESTACK someone else's layout...

Ugh, I will go away for a while and see if someone has taken pity on me and explained it

That's right. It allows you to rewrite your own comments to remind you why you restacked it. Under the Video URL box, there's a Scrap Stack box. Click on that, and select which folder/stack you want to put it in. Add a description if you want one then click save.

Thanks Jacinda! I swear that I tried that exact same thing but it kept rejecting it... I wonder if traffic was too heavy and it wasn't letting me restack? I just tried it again and it worked just fine

What is proper etiquette for restacking - type our own comments to it or just leave the original stackers comments?

[Lindsay]

I've seen people doing both - adding own comments and leaving it the same. Is there a way to go back into the layouts we pinned and edit and leave our comments. It will quickly get out of hand for me and I would love to go back and add why I re-stacked it in the first place.

Feel free to shoot your questions my way using the contact link at Scrap Stacks. I'm usually pretty quick with a response, and if I know the questions people have, it helps me decide what "tip" posts to write for the blog.

Marie - if you didn't have your Stacks made, or if you didn't create one when you were trying to reStack, you wouldn't have been able to add it to your stacks - does that make sense? I think that was your issue. I think I'll create a getting started post with screen shots.

Laura - I don't think there really is an etiquette to follow: the original poster will know it was reStacked, so I think if you want to add something as to why you reStacked it, that would be fine.

Lindsay - yes, just click edit. You should be able to edit the post.
